Wow! These patterns have been a loooong time in the making, so tonight I am both excited and relieved to be able to share them with you :)

Are you ready?...

The first brand new pattern is called "Flipsy"Flipsy was designed with busy sewers in mind...Mums, people who work, people who love to sew but don't want to spend forever creating something. A very satisfying to sew and you will be sure to get lots of compliments on the finished product! The best part about Flipsy is that after your little sewing spree you won't just have one cute skirt...you will have two!

Great for a quick flip when one side is dirty or she's just had enough of it! Flipsy has some cutedetail too, belt loops, lots of buttons and a cool tie at the waist to dress up an otherwise ordinary looking waistband. Flipsy also includes a pattern for a choice of two different applique designs to pop onto a top for a complete outfit!

Find out more about Flipsy on the website, lots of extra pics in the slide show gallery at the bottom of the page too.

The second pattern release is called"Fancy Pants"With winter setting in, we needed something to be worn with the Pinny and Pinny #2 patterns to make them a year-round dress. Solution...Fancy Pants. A pair of Fancy Pants under the Pinny looks adorable .

Fancy Pants comes with four different finishing variations and two different embellishments. Plenty of inspiration to make a truly unique pair of pants. They are also super comfortable and look stunning when made from a soft linen. Will definitely be a long-time favourite.

Find out more about Fancy Pants on the website and be sure to check out the slide show gallery pics at the bottom of the page too.

A big thanks to Chelsea and her brilliant photography and perfect little girls for such great photos!
